The Ministry of Energy will fast-track the review of rules for cheaper night-time power costs ahead of the proposed opening up of electricity transmission and distribution to the private sector early next year.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi said that the government is racing to relax the conditions that have hampered the uptake of power at night for large industries at discounted costs.
